(Cl. 81-90) This invention relates to assembling tools, and more particularly to wrenches for advancing threaded, cylindrical members into engagement with each other in a predetermined relationship.

In the manufacture of communication cables, it is he design and construction of these connectors frequen tly involve the assembling of a threaded bush- 1 into threaded engagement with a h with a similar connector on the end of another length of cable chosen at random. In the mass production of been difiicult heretofore to manufacture greatmumbers of these assemblies with a le tolerances are allowed.

An object of the invention is to provide new and improved assembling tools.

A handle 16 having a transverse bore 1? therethrough is pivotally mounted between the ears ll and 12 by means of the pin 15' passing through the bores 13, 14 and 17. As shown in Fig. 3, the angle through which the handle 16 may pivot is limited. Pivoted movement of the handle 16 is controlled on the right by the abutment of the handle 16 bje'ct of the invention is to provide new and taes atent O ce with a surface 18 of the wrench body 10, and on the left by the abutment of the handle 16 with the inclined porhe wrench body 10 is provided with gaging surfaces lies in a different horizontal plane, as seen in Fig. 2. The housing- 27 is provided with arcuate lugs 32 and 33, which are spaced apart and have coplanar upper surfaces 34 and 35, respectively.

Operation With the lugs 22 and 23 of the wrench in engagement with the lugs 24 and 25 of the threaded bushing 26, as shown in Fig. 2, the handle 16 is rotated in a clockwise direction to advance the bushing into the housing 27. Rotation is continued until the plane developed by the gage surface 31;, indicated in Fig. 1 b
